Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari congratulating the nation on Independence Day has said that the future of Pakistan is bright. He also said that there is no threat to this nation if the 1973 constitution remains our national strategy.
In a message issued on the occasion of Pakistan’s 74th Independence Day, the PPP Chairman said that this day commemorates the impact of the peaceful political struggle of our forebears and their commitment to a democratic vision for Pakistan.
Bilawal Bhutto said, “Unfortunately even after 74 years, our people are still deprived of basic services and equal rights, and are plagued by diseases such as discrimination, injustice, and poverty.”
“The solution to Pakistan's problems lies in the establishment of true democracy and the observance of the Constitution,” he added.
Bilawal further said that PPP is a political party that carries forth the thinking and ideology on which our founding ancestors had established this great country. “The PPP is working to make the country a truly modern, progressive, and vibrant democratic state,” he stated.
Chairman PPP paid rich tribute to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his comrades who created Pakistan after great struggle and many sacrifices. He also paid homage to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who in the light of the democratic and constitutionalist thinking of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, made this country a democratic and egalitarian state.
He added that Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto sacrificed their lives for the cause.
“Today, we pledge that we will resist any attempt made to control the people's right to vote for their candidate of choice,” said Chairman PPP. “We will ensure there is no place for prejudice, terrorism, and extremism in the country.”
Bilawal Bhutto said that on the occasion of Independence Day, his thoughts are with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters who are being subjugated under the yoke of barbarism every day. He said that in light of the will of Kashmiris and UN resolutions, the PPP would continue to support them till Kashmir gains independence.
